Ok this is going to be very general (maybe too much so) so any input or feedback would be appreciated here. I debated if I should put this in the C&R section and could have gone either way but since there are some more modern guns that apply I posted here. If this thread skews too heavily to...

So I applied a week ago for my C&R and my credit card was charged yesterday 6 days from when I mailed my application. This was much quicker than I was expecting. Any one know from the point they charge you how long till an approval or denial letter?

My tastes in guns have slowly but surely transitioned to military sidearms of WW1-2 vintage. The last 3 guns I purchased P38, 1895 Nagant, and Colt 1903 would have paid for the C&R so I'm convinced and ready to take the plunge. I filled out the form online but I have a few questions if anyone...

So I'm looking at my collection the other day and I have a single action and double action in all the major revolver calibers and a couple non major ones except for 1. Not sure why but the lack of a double action 45 colt is now bugging the crap out of me. Ever since I figured out I'm missing it...

Taking a trip to Atlanta next week for business. Any unique shops worth visiting for guns, military collectibles, ect ect ect. I'm curious to check out Museum Replicas simply to scratch an itch. Anything else worth a look? Due to the way my meetings are set up the mornings and evenings are...

Anyone ever purchase a firearm from Cheaper than Dirt? I have ordered non FFL items from them before and as long as I manage the shipping cost issue have been pretty happy. For some reason I'm hesitating pulling the trigger on a firearm purchase however. I have never purchased a firearm from...

Found this in the LGS yesterday and couldn't resist. Based on Serial number search it was produced in 1915. Did not come with box and paperwork but pricing was hard to beat. Have not fired it yet and I'm not sure how much I will. Thinking this one is destined to be a firearm I pull out of my...

Any one have any experiance with the following item? Would like to get one but not finding a lot of solid reviews on line. http://www.consolevault.com/Nissan-Frontier-2005--2016-_p_143.html#.WIYcAFMrK00 Any other vaults that work well for my specific model?

Sent this to Ruger's contact our CEO email address. I know Brand Loyalty is not a common thing these days (aside from Apple) but I was raised with Rugers and they continue to be a common fixture in my safe. Just thought I would share this here as well. If any Ruger employees peruse these pages...

Pruning my collection of some redundant guns and looking to trade for a Lever 357 or 45 LC. I know Henry and Rossi currently make them. I'm looking to spend under $1,000 so I have to rule out a couple of the Italian makers unfortunately. Other than caliber and action I want the shortest barrel I...

Another post on here got me thinking about this the other day. I was at a LGS and saw a Tokarev (SP) and made the decision to purchase. I was waited (as per normal with a common last name) so went about my day as normal after paying the background check fee but not the cost of the actual...

This is kind of gun related but if it does not meet the minimum threshold here I certainly understand if the thread is closed. My father is a (self described) serious prepper. From my point of view this means he buys lots of guns, and stores some food. From his point of view he can and will...

Saw this in guns of the old west and fell stupidly madly in love. Not sure why. http://ifg-na.com/ Can't think of much practical purpose for this thing other than range fun but thats good enough for me. Any one seen one of these in the wild yet?

I have a friend who has the opportunity to go on the trip of a lifetime to the Alaska Bush Country to help build some community buildings (school/churches) for some research teams that will be living way up north for several years. They will not be hunting but given where they will be the team...

my gun store knows me well. They just got in a model 29 7 inch barrel (I think) blued. Gun looks pristine with box and paperwork. It has rubber grips that have the S&W seal that the owner of the shop says are original from the 70's when the gun was made. Lock up is tight and after performing...

So I screwed up and purchased a left handed 870 figuring I would buy an extra barrel and have a tactical shotgun at some point. Yep should have done some research and realized the left handed 870 requires a special barrel which they don't sell in an 18 inch variety. So looking for an 18-18.5...

Purchased a long gun here in WI on Monday and still in review status. Never once have I ever waited more than an hour or so. I get that it was bound to happen but a little concerned. Anyone experiencing longer delays than normal? If so is this a function of the number of people buying or...

I have an 870 left handed model and curious if there is anything different regarding replacement barrels between the left and right hand model? I currently have a longer barrel for hunting on my gun and looking at getting an 18ish barrel for home defense.

Having a fit here. I love Rugers and have many single and double action revolvers of theirs and love them all. I recently purchased the 45 LC/45 ACP convertible Black hawk. http://www.ruger-firearms.com/products/newModelBlackhawkConvertible/specSheets/0463.html I really do not like the...

Well I don't need another revolver but about the time I finally get my head around that concept I find a revolver I want. Go figure. Found a Colt Trooper Mark 3 at the LGS yesterday. Blued and appears to be in solid shape guessing 90%+. I could not get a look in the bore as I got there right...
